4 Common Mistakes to Avoid With Damaged Auto Glass

Mistake #1: Ignoring the Problem

Probably one of the worst mistakes you can make is to ignore your broken windshield, rear window, or side windows. Many people often assume a small windshield chip or tiny crack is no big deal and they ignore it. However, the damage to your auto glass won’t just go away. In fact, it almost always gets worse. Small chips that seemed insignificant, at first, usually splinter off into numerous fissures that often turn into larger cracks that cover the length of your car windshield. This is problematic, as splintered glass severely weakens the structural integrity of your auto glass, which can lead to a shattered windshield. What’s more, because the auto glass is in a vulnerable state, something as small as a pebble hitting the damaged glass, or driving over a bump in the road, can mean disaster for your windshield. This places you, your loved ones, and others on the road, in danger, so don’t ignore your damaged auto glass! It’s just not worth the risk.

Mistake #2: Attempting DIY Repairs at Home

In an attempt to save some money, many people try using DIY windshield repair kits to fix their broken auto glass, only to find out the materials included were ineffective, the tools were unreliable, and that it’s not as easy of a fix as they had initially thought. We get it. DIY projects are all the rage right now, however, some things, like auto glass repairs, should be left to the experts. DIY auto glass repair kits don’t include the intensive training, the decades of experience, and the professional-grade equipment and materials required to fix a broken windshield. Instead, trust a friendly, expert technician at West Texas Windshields for all your windshield and auto glass repairs.

Mistake #3: Relying on Windshield Repair Video Tutorials

There are a plethora of helpful video tutorials out there created by well-intentioned professionals and amateurs alike. And while auto glass repair tutorials may seem reliable, you don’t always know if the person making the video is a professional technician or just some average person offering their own tips that may or not work. First off, most people search through several of these videos before finally settling on one that looks the most legitimate, which can take up hours of your time. Second, unless the person who made the video provides their viewers with credentials and links to their company site, it is very difficult to decipher whether or not they’re an expert in the auto glass field. Third, you may not have access to the proper tools and materials needed to perform the auto glass repair. And finally, more times than not, these videos make the repair process look much easier and quicker than it actually is. Save yourself the trouble and call a West Texas Windshields pro instead!

Proper training, licensure, decades of experience, top-notch customer service, conveniently-located service shops, and access to the best, cutting-edge tools. These are all the things you should expect from an auto glass company when you’re in need of a repair or replacement. Unfortunately, because of time constraints or other reasons, many people choose the first auto glass company they search, rather than doing their research on a company beforehand. Your vehicle is an investment, maybe one of the biggest investments you’ll make. Therefore, you’ll want to take your vehicle to a reputable auto glass shop that you can trust to repair or replace your damaged auto glass. Always choose a trustworthy auto glass company with friendly, licensed, experienced auto glass technicians for all your auto glass repairs.

Mistake #4 - Not Going to a Reputable Auto Glass Company

Don’t make these common mistakes when you have damaged auto glass. Instead, call West Texas Windshields for efficient auto glass repairs and replacements from friendly, professional technicians.

"I appreciate them for working on the mechanics, too"

I thought the door glass had simply fallen off the track, but it turned out to be components in the door that had to be replaced. West Texas Windshields had the part that afternoon and now it is working like new. I was surprised they did more than just replace the glass and I appreciate them for working on the mechanics too.

Why Have Your Auto Glass Repaired?

Any damage to your car’s auto glass could be a cause for a replacement, but in many cases, a windshield repair or auto glass repair will be an effective solution. Here are some of the most common reasons why you might consider having your windshield repaired, rather than having it replaced.

Small Crack or Chip

With the amount of debris on West Texas roads and highways like rocks, dust, and fallen objects, windshields become scratched, chipped, and dinged quite easily. While these damages can become a much more serious issue if left unrepaired, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will need to completely replace your your windshield. One of our skilled auto glass technicians can inspect the damage to determine the severity, and whether or not it can be repaired. In most cases, a windshield repair will do the trick to fix these damages.

Damage Doesn’t Obstruct the Driver’s Vision

When the damage to your windshield or side auto glass is located in an area that does not obstruct your line of sight when driving, an auto glass repair may be sufficient. The last thing you want is to be driving down the road with a large chip right in your line of vision. Not only can this make it difficult to see clearly what’s in front of you, but chips can catch the rays of the sun, causing a piercing glare that could temporarily impair your vision. As long as the damage is not directly in front of you, a repair could be the answer to your problem.

Small Amount of Damage

Smaller chips and cracks can be less distracting than larger cracks and splits that run the length of your windshield. Smaller amounts of damage also place less stress on the structural integrity of your auto glass, meaning a windshield replacement may not be necessary. Keep in mind that while the initial damage may be small and seem slightly insignificant at first, it will most likely grow into more significant damage due to changes in temperature, severe weather conditions, and from being hit by other debris when driving. What’s more, the damage will likely worsen if it is not repaired soon after it is initially damaged.

"They Did a Great Job."

I had these guys replace my windshield, they did a great job. The girls were professional that took my order, my truck was left clean. It has been a few weeks, no leaks driving through the rain. I have a 2011 Chevy 1500, I will use them again…

Why Get a Windshield Replacement?

There are serious risks involved in driving a vehicle that has significant damage to the windshield, side windows, rear window, or side mirrors. Aside from the simple fact that a damaged car window can severely impair your line of sight, driving a vehicle with damaged auto glass places you, your loved ones, and others on the road in danger. Here are a few reasons why you may opt for a windshield replacement, rather than a windshield repair.

Large Chips and Cracks

Small rock chips are one thing, but when your windshield has a large chip or crack in it, chances are, you probably can’t see very well out of your auto glass. Maybe one of the neighborhood kids hit a baseball into your windshield, leaving a huge crack or dent in your auto glass. Or maybe that small rock chip you got a few months back splintered and turned into a much larger crack. No matter the case, if the chip or crack in your windshield is significant, bring it in to one of our six locations for a windshield inspection and fair service estimate for a windshield replacement.

Severe Leaks

Sometimes, the epoxy holding your windshield or other car windows in place fails over time since your last repair or replacement, or as a result of the elements. When this happens, this could allow water leaks, dust, and other unwanted items into your vehicle, which could become a driving distraction. In many cases, the epoxy can be repaired, but in more severe cases, you’ll want to have your windshield inspected by one of our licensed professionals, who will give you their honest recommendation for the best solution.

Shattered Windshield or Auto Glass

If your auto glass is completely shattered due to an auto accident, theft, or other damage, you’ll want to have your windshield replaced immediately, as the structural integrity of your windshield may be compromised. Driving with a shattered windshield or car window is not only dangerous, but also illegal. Call us for a windshield replacement, as a professional auto glass installation with our team comes with a lifetime guarantee. An auto glass replacement will also have you driving in a much safer vehicle. Driving with a shattered or severely damaged auto glass is simply not worth the risk.
